Make the Room Feel Like the Holidays
Nothing sets the scene like a fresh-cut Fraser fir. Soft, blue-green needles with silvery undersides, naturally full shape, and sturdy, evenly spaced branches make decorating easy—from delicate glass ornaments to heirloom keepsakes. The clean, woodsy fragrance fills your home the moment it’s set in the stand, creating a classic Christmas focal point for gatherings, photos, and cozy nights in.
Simple Care for Weeks of Freshness
Give your tree a fresh ½-inch cut across the base, place it in water immediately, and set it up away from heat vents, fireplaces, and direct sun. Use a large-capacity stand (at least 1 gallon) and keep the reservoir topped off—never let the cut end dry out. Plain, fresh water is best; no additives needed. Cooler rooms extend freshness, and LED lights reduce heat around the needles.

FAQs
Why choose a Fraser fir?
Fraser firs combine excellent needle retention with a naturally symmetrical, conical form and strong, upturned branches. The soft, blue-green needles with silvery undersides add depth and sparkle under lights.
How long will it stay fresh?
With a fresh cut, immediate hydration, and a full water reservoir, most trees look their best for 4–6 weeks. Cooler rooms and LED lighting help extend display time.
How big of a stand do I need?
Choose a stable stand that holds at least 1 gallon of water and fits the trunk without shaving bark. The cut surface must remain submerged at all times.
Do I need to add sugar, aspirin, or tree preservatives to the water?
No. Clean, plain water is all that’s required. Additives don’t improve uptake and can create residue in the stand.
What if the water level drops below the cut?
Re-cutting is ideal, but if the tree is already decorated, refill immediately and monitor closely. Prevent this by checking the stand daily—twice daily during the first week.
Where should I place the tree?
Pick a cool spot away from heat sources and direct sun, with a nearby outlet for lights and clear traffic flow. Protect floors with a waterproof mat or tray under the stand.
How do I dispose of it after the holidays?
Most communities offer tree recycling or curbside pickup for mulching. You can also clip branches to insulate garden beds and compost smaller pieces where allowed.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
